Question i was asked today re ball hitting overhead power lines , i said im fairly sure it has to be covered by a LR , others adamant it was replay no penalty , i advised him to use option to play 2 balls and clarify later , which he did .

Is there a rule im missing ? Or is it covered by LR only
Thanks in advance

You were correct. That Local Rule has to be in effect for the stroke to be cancelled. If it isn't, the Rule covering hitting a wire is 11.1. You play the ball as it lies.
